It's been 2 weeks running consistently and following my training plan. Actuall, following the days I run but putting a significantly larger amount of miles! My latest challenge? A 10 miler... A 10 miler that I had to do "alone" as the friend that was going to run with me had cancelled late the night before.
For the record, the longest I had run "solo" and not in a race was 6.2 miles which I was Ok with. Long runs are to me, runs to socialize with fellow runner friends and an opportunity to share running accomplishments. Well, not anymore!
I went out there really not knowing what to expect or how I was going to feel. But I found out that as hard as it was I DOMINATED MY RUN! I not only ran alone for 1 hour and 47 minutes but I ran the whole way! For you my fellow runners you know how awesome of an accomplishment that is :)
So of course I am beyond thrilled and can't wait to get faster and stronger! This time around I've really had great runs, I think I also found a group of girls that are awesome to run with and who help me give my all. I do miss my BFF Shannon who I used to do all my running with in Chicago and pretty much every run I wish we could run together but you have to make the best of what you got and open yourself for new friends and experiences.
Well peeps, this is all for now ;)
